Either way, it doesn't mean you can't RP or play your lalafells differently. Go ahead and make them serious adult Rated-R characters. So in the end you picked a race that was literally made to be a certain way from the gecko so of course there are going to be items that represent that. Sorry to drop this bomb on you all but I advice getting over it and just nicely ask for better things.
    There's actually plenty of (very funny) in-game Lalafell comedy that revolves around their size (being too small they're preyed on by monsters, so small they fit in a travel bag or cooking pot, being compared to potatoes, being catapulted onto treetops, general slapstick) but so far zero about them being childlike or babies - that is not lore accurate and only seems to come from very annoying people.

    It doesn't get clearer than this: it could be a funny joke if Lalafell players were not discriminated in-game when attempting to present as adults. Yet they are, so it's just punching down and perpetuating a harmful stereotype.

    Here you go. This was mentioned in page 3 already.

    It was.

    Find us a joke about adult Lalafells being treated as babies in-game prior to this, then we can talk about lore accuracy.
